Sea Water
PG
DM/EW







*




The water creeps up slyly, white foam tangling around his bare ankles and coaxing him into its slippery grip.

"Come on!" Elijah laughs distantly, his voice bleeding in with the calls of the water. Dom squints, but can't spot him.

The sand gives way under his feet with each receding wave. He wiggles his toes into the ever-changing grooves as he sinks slowly.



*



The bitter air drapes itself across his shoulders. If he closes his eyes, he can taste the salt water in his mouth and feel limp ribbons of seaweed encircling his forearms.

"Aren't you coming in?" Elijah's voice seems to be fading with every syllable.

He lets chilled fingers curl around his wrist one by one and pull him out to sea.



*



His body falls soundlessly into the water, which he thinks to be strange because he can still hear the roaring of waves in his ears, and feels the cold of the liquid on his lips.



*




A/N: I think this is part of a "hallucinating Dom" drabble series that I seem to have going. It's in the same vein as this. Think of it kinda as taking place between the last two parts.

Ooo, I like them both. o_o; Your descriptions are almost eerie, and the flow is nice, sort of pulling the reader along ... Gave me chills. :)
